Tourism, as a key pillar of local development and sustainability, is facing ever-increasing challenges. Natural disasters, effects of climate change, and cultural risks pose significant threats to the attractiveness and sustainability of these regions, which have a rich history and unique natural beauty, and are important destinations for naturalistic, cultural and religious tourism. The research revealed critical issues that affect tourism activities, the development of the tourism product, as well as the maintenance of sustainability in these areas. The survey showed that the charm of destinations is declining, as climate change negatively affects the attractiveness of mountain destinations, degrading the natural beauty and uniqueness of these areas. Rising temperatures and the deterioration of the natural environment, exemplified by the extreme temperatures in Jordan during the summer months, discourage visitors from exploring natural and historical treasures. At the same time, extreme weather events create an additional economic headache, significantly increasing operating costs in the tourism sector. Droughts, floods and other extreme conditions require costly adjustments to tourism infrastructure, causing financial pressure on businesses. In addition, a tourist discrepancy is just around the corner regarding the traditional summer tourist season, which shows a decrease in demand, since travelers now prefer trips in spring and autumn, which creates imbalances in the tourist market. Finally, the cultural heritage is also at high risk due to climate change, which threatens incalculable damage to historical and cultural monuments of world heritage, whose preservation and promotion is constantly undermined.
